Israeli airdrop on Damascus... What is the purpose?

Arab Sea Newspaper - Special

Arab Sea - Reports: The Israeli "Kan" channel said on Thursday that "the airborne operation on Mount Mane', southwest of Damascus, targeted an air defense base used by Iranian forces during the era of former President Bashar al-Assad." According to sources for the "Arab Sea" newspaper, "Syrian forces found monitoring and eavesdropping devices on Tuesday, and while trying to deal with them, the site was subjected to an Israeli air attack that killed 7 soldiers." They added that "when Syrian soldiers tried to destroy these weapons, Israeli fighters targeted them directly through several raids." Two sources in the Syrian army told Reuters that a unit of the Israeli army carried out an airborne landing on a strategic high area southwest of Damascus, and carried out an operation that lasted two hours before leaving the area. Later, 4 Israeli helicopters arrived and began an airborne landing operation for dozens of soldiers, according to our correspondent, who confirmed that "there was no direct clash between Israeli and Syrian soldiers." The landing operation lasted for more than two hours, during which "the Israeli soldiers carried out operations whose nature was unknown. We do not know what the Israeli force was looking for." Our sources reported that groups from the Syrian army destroyed part of the eavesdropping systems by targeting them with appropriate weapons, while the bodies of the dead soldiers were retrieved. The landing took place near Mount al-Mane', which was previously the site of a major air defense base operated by Iran, but Israel destroyed it before the fall of the rule of former President Bashar al-Assad. A number of the new Syrian army forces are stationed at the base.
